Rodions Kurucs ruled out for Nets Wednesday in Cleveland with sprained elbow

Brooklyn Nets rookie power forward Rodions Kurucs (left elbow sprain) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Cleveland against the Cavaliers.

What It Means:

Details about the injury are unknown, but Kurucs will have nine full days to rest before the Nets' next game on February 21 against the Portland Trail Blazers. Allen Crabbe or Shabazz Napier could draw the start, assuming the Nets will continue to ease Caris LeVert back into things.

The second-round pick is averaging 15.7 FanDuel points through 41 NBA games (29 starts). numberFire's models expect him to record 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.7 triples per contest over the remainder of the year.
